Design Extends... from Fashion to Wedding Invitations

Once you get involved with the design process, you will be surprised to see how much it extends from one area of your life to another.

For example, when I cook or prepare food, I always think about the colors, textures, and flavors and how they all work together. This is the same process I use when planning a garment, choosing fabric or yarn, and then techniques I want to utilize.

As I have developed more computer skills, I've been able to extend my design to other areas, and it was for this reason I wanted to design and create the wedding invitations for my sons wedding.
